| #1ismarSep 18, 2010 6:07:39 | When: November 12th-14th, 2010 GASPcon is entering its 11th year, and we are celebrating by continuing with the addition of a 3rd day (Friday) to the convention that we started last year. Even better, pre-registration prices are staying the same as last year, just $20 for the entire weekend. Think of it as getting an extra day for FREE. GASPcon runs 24hrs a day from opening till close. Player pre-registration has been open for the past month but event sign-ups started Friday Sept 17th. ***Reminder*** In order to sign up for events you must send in your PayPal payment before your account will be cleared for sign-ups To register for the convention and to see a preliminary event list, go to the following link. Registration will remain open for GM submissions and Player Sign-ups until Sunday October 24th Board games will be running all weekend long, and with our extensive and free board game library, you can check-out a different game everytime you sit down to play. There will also be a board game demo team onhand to teach you how to play several select games donated to the club by retailers. There are also a mix of Role-playing games running throughout the weekend. This are both independent publisher games, as well as your favorite D&D and StarWars RPGs. The RPGA will also be running Living FR all weekend long, with first-run events for the living campaign. Your favorite CCG's will also get some play, with several Magic events being held, and even the return of the BattleTech CCG to GASPcon, with exclusive prizes for the best MechCommander. GASPcon 11 will see the return of 2 outstanding Classic BattleTech events. The first is the Poker Run on Saturday, where the object is to collect poker cards by killing your opponents, and the winner is the player with the best hand. The second is the Open Tournament on Sunday, where you will square off against your opponent with a pre-selected Lance of 'Mechs. There will also be a Solaris 7 event using the Mechwarrior click minis. The highlight of the weekend for miniature game will be the 3 Lord of the Ring scenarios, 1 on each day. All materials will be provided for these epic battles that will recreate your favorite scenes from the Fellowship of the Ring. Don't worry, Star Wars minis aren't left out, with the return of Tile Wars. Battle your opponent on any legal map tile, with 100pt squads each. These fast and furious games are a blast.

Heres the complete list to date: RPGA - AGLA2-2 First Strike (P2) You can still register for events till October 24th.

| #3ThanlisOct 11, 2010 10:08:19 | This is a really fun local con and I completely recommend it -- every LFR game I played in last year had a good GM and fun players. It was good enough so that we decided to trek out from Baltimore again this year; big props to Don and Eric (the LFR coordinator). There's also a really varied menu of non-LFR games, including plenty of indie games. |
